Forum Youngblood DoubleDog Wide Snowboard 2013

With featured art from Toronto artist King Trash, the Forum Youngblood DoubleDog Wide Snowboard is sure to trip out a few people, if not melt their faces off. Designed for the guys that write their own rules and take smack from no one, the DoubleDog profile is unique, bringing camber sections under foot for more punchy pop and rocker between the feet and in the nose/tail for a stony surfer feel and forgiving ride. With Booter Boosters thrown in, you'll be taking your style to a higher level, getting more bang for your jumps. Like the artwork boasts, speak loud, ride hard and get buck.

Rocker Type

DoubleDog - Camber sections located under each foot deliver power, pop, and edge grip for charging fast and going big. Rocker sections between the feet and in the nose and tail ensure a forgiving and playful ride. Add to the recipe a core profile with softer sections underneath the feet and poppy sections between the feet and in the nose and tail for all-day park laps.

Booter Boosters - Carbon strands strategically placed from under your feet to the nose and tail provide a direct response with better energy return and more boost for takeoffs and flat ollies. Take a look and find multiple strands of carbon in Booter Boosters NexTreme for taking boosting to the next level.

Laminates

Biax - With a configuration to make any board smooth, forgiving, and fun to ride, Biax is constructed with strands that crisscross at a 90-degree angle.

Base

Formula Base - The sintered base will get you up to speed and off the lip faster, so casing the knuckle is no longer a problem. Go fast and go big with this special formula.

Specs

Terrain:Freestyle

Freestyle

Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.

Ability Level:Intermediate-Advanced

Intermediate-Advanced

The majority of skiers/snowboarders fall into this level, whether you like to carve on groomers or venture into the powder. These skis/snowboards may be somewhat wider than beginner-intermediate skis, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Depending on the type of ski, intermediate-advanced level skis may have full camber, rocker, or some combination of the two.

Rocker Type:Roc/Cam/Roc/Cam/Roc

Roc/Cam/Roc/Cam/Roc

This is a blend of camber and rocker, for the best of both worlds: rocker overall, including between and outside your feet, enhances playfulness and float. Underneath the bindings there are camber zones for focused edge-control for added pop and power through turns.

Flex Rating:Medium

Medium

The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
